Xuanyuan Haoxuan slammed the table and shouted, "Good! It's settled! Tomorrow, I will gather all the geniuses of our Xuanyuan family. If none of them can wield the God Slayer Spear, then I will hand it over to Xuanyuan Gongyi as compensation."
"Of course, the prerequisite is that Young Master Xuanyuan can wield the God Slayer Spear and agree to return to the Xuanyuan family!"
"Good!" Zilin Ling also slapped the table and said heartily.
Xuanyuan Xun wanted to say something, but in the end, he merely twitched his lips and said nothing.
Shen Liuxing, Shangguan Yulin, Rong Guang, Old Du, Xi Jingran, and Du Zihao remained silent.
For them, any decision made by Zilin Ling was correct and did not need to be questioned.
As soon as Zilin Ling finished speaking, someone walked in and bowed to Xuanyuan Haoxuan, saying, "Reporting to the family head, the ancestral hall is ready!"
Xuanyuan Haoxuan nodded and said, "Since it is ready, please, Miss Zi and honored guests, follow me!"
Zilin Ling stood up and said, "Thank you!"
Then, she led Xuanyuan Xun and the seven others, accompanied by an elder of the Xuanyuan family, to the ancestral hall.
They lit incense in sequence and paid their respects devoutly.
However, when Xuanyuan Xun was paying his respects, the statue of the War God emitted white light, and the entire War God Ancestral Hall began to shake.
Zilin Ling, Shangguan Yulin, Rong Guang, Shen Liuxing, Old Du, Xi Jingran, and Du Zihao were all accustomed to this and stood calmly to the side.
But the elder of the Xuanyuan family and the others were greatly shocked.
In their panic, some people fled the ancestral hall, some hid and trembled, and the elder was at a loss.
Soon, the white light from the War God statue enveloped Xuanyuan Xun.
A golden light flew out from within the War God statue and directly entered Xuanyuan Xun's forehead.
Xuanyuan Xun's body trembled violently as he endured immense pain.
The elder of the Xuanyuan family finally came to his senses and angrily shouted, "What are you doing?"
Saying this, he was about to rush forward and throw Xuanyuan Xun out of the ancestral hall.
But would Zilin Ling and the seven others allow him to do that?
Of course not!
Before the elder of the Xuanyuan family could even approach Xuanyuan Xun, he was blocked by Shangguan Yulin and Shen Liuxing.
The two of them cooperated and, in just three moves, subdued the elder of the Xuanyuan family.
"You dare to desecrate the War God Ancestral Hall? Are you declaring war on our War God City?"
Although the elder of the Xuanyuan family was restrained, it did not prevent him from shouting loudly.
Zilin Ling said calmly, "Declare war on your War God City? It's not that we don't dare, it's unnecessary! As for desecrating the War God Ancestral Hall, that's even less likely! Because the one that was desecrated was the fake. What use is the fake when the real one has arrived?"
"What real and fake? Our Xuanyuan family head treated you with courtesy, yet you repay kindness with enmity and dare to desecrate our ancestral statue!"
The elder of the Xuanyuan family was so angered by Zilin Ling's words that he felt he was about to ascend.
Zilin Ling smiled brightly and said, "Alright, please calm yourself!"
With that, she signaled Shen Liuxing and Shangguan Yulin to escort the elder of the Xuanyuan family out.
The ancestral hall instantly became quiet.
However, the commotion here was so great that it soon attracted Xuanyuan Haoxuan and other elders of the Xuanyuan family.
Xuanyuan Haoxuan looked at the cracked War God statue and then at Xuanyuan Xun, who was closing his eyes in pain, his expression as grim as a stormy sky.
Suppressing his anger, he asked, "Miss Zi, what is going on?"
Zilin Ling smiled slightly and said, "The real one has arrived, so the fake is no longer necessary!"
"Real? Fake?"
Although Xuanyuan Haoxuan was angry, he was not foolish. He naturally understood the hidden meaning in Zilin Ling's words.
Zilin Ling smiled brightly and said, "City Lord Xuanyuan, please remain calm. Once Brother Xuanyuan completes the fusion, everything will be clear!"
Xuanyuan Haoxuan clenched his fists, making cracking sounds. They tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again, clearly on the verge of anger.
However, he did not act in the end.
The War God statue had stood in the War God Ancestral Hall for nearly ten thousand years. Countless people had come to worship it, yet it remained intact without any damage.
But today, when Zilin Ling and her entourage arrived, the War God statue collapsed. Xuanyuan Haoxuan would never believe that there was no mystery involved.
Thinking of this, the furious Xuanyuan Haoxuan suddenly became curious.
Therefore, he stood to the side, waiting for Xuanyuan Xun to wake up.
Time ticked by. Two hours had already passed.
The white light on the War God statue slowly faded and finally disappeared completely.
As the white light vanished, the War God statue shattered with a crack.
Xuanyuan Xun suddenly opened his eyes. A hint of gold spread rapidly from the center of his pupils to both sides, soon disappearing within his eyes.
"Brother Xuanyuan, congratulations on fully reclaiming the War God's memories!" Zilin Ling said with a smile.
Xuanyuan Xun's face lit up with joy. "Thank you!"
Seeing that Xuanyuan Xun had woken up, Xuanyuan Haoxuan quickly said, "Miss Zi, Young Master Xuanyuan, can you give me an explanation now?"
Zilin Ling smiled and did not answer.
Xuanyuan Xun frowned and said, "I am retrieving my own belongings. Why should I give you an explanation?"
Saying this, he extended his right hand, and a dark, gleaming spear flew out from the depths of the ancestral hall, landing in his grasp.
The God Slayer Spear!
Xuanyuan Haoxuan was utterly shocked. He couldn't understand how the God Slayer Spear had flown out on its own.
But Xuanyuan Xun had no intention of explaining. Instead, he took out the Overlord Spear and placed it next to the God Devouring Spear.
Soon, the Overlord Spear disappeared, and the God Slayer Spear became even darker and exuded a fiercer aura.
Xuanyuan Xun held the God Slayer Spear, leaped out of the ancestral hall, and began to wield it outside.
The terrifying aura sent chills down Xuanyuan Haoxuan's spine.
Fortunately, after wielding it for a while, Xuanyuan Xun stopped and laughed heartily, "Old friend, you're finally back! We can fight side-by-side again!"
The God Slayer Spear twisted in Xuanyuan Xun's hand, as if saying, "Master, I'm back! We can continue to fight side-by-side!"
Zilin Ling walked out of the ancestral hall and said to Xuanyuan Haoxuan, "Family Head Xuanyuan, you've seen it, haven't you? The God Slayer Spear flew out on its own and fell into Brother Xuanyuan's hands. What does this signify?"
"It signifies that the God Slayer Spear has its own consciousness and recognizes its own person. Not everyone is qualified to touch it!"
Xuanyuan Haoxuan looked at Xuanyuan Xun, who was holding the God Slayer Spear, and asked Zilin Ling, "What is going on? Who is Xuanyuan Xun? And who are you people?"
